Management of wood-based panel, plywood and MDF suppliers (development, evaluation and relationship management,sourcing and procurement)
Effective management of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers is very important for the stable development of buyers. The qualification of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers determines the service quality of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers, the price of wood-based panel plywood and materials supplied by MDF suppliers, the manufacturing cost of the purchaser’s products, the quality of wood-based panel plywood and materials supplied by MDF suppliers, and the quality of the purchaser’s products, the quality of wood-based panel plywood and the time of materials supplied by MDF suppliers, To some extent, it determines the manufacturing time of the purchaser’s products. The management of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers mainly involves the selection and evaluation of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers, the performance evaluation of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers, and the establishment of strategic partnership with wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers. The management of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers is the basis and important content of supply chain management. The suppliers of wood-based panels, plywood and MDF are the advantageous resources for the continuous development of the purchaser. Whether the materials supplied by wood-based panel, plywood and MDF suppliers meet the requirements of the end user on cost, quality and diversity determines the product competitiveness of the purchaser in the market.
1.1.2 Management methods and steps of wood-based panel, plywood and MDF suppliers
1) According to the management theory of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers, the evaluation and selection process of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers is briefly described as follows:
Conduct a comprehensive and objective verification of the quality system of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers, because the quality system is the guarantee of stable product quality.
Preliminary review. According to the development status of the purchaser and the product quality standards, the quality system documents and operation procedures of the wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers are preliminarily reviewed. After the review, the product can be sampled for evaluation. The evaluation results may be divided into two situations: one is that the evaluation is unqualified; the other is that the cooperation is interrupted; the other is that the evaluation is qualified and the corresponding material quality confirmation is issued.
Go to the manufacturer of wood-based panel plywood and MDF supplier’s production base to verify whether the sample is produced by the original factory of wood-based panel plywood and MDF supplier, and focus on studying whether its production process is reliable and stable. On this basis, the purchaser’s procurement personnel can conduct business activities such as inquiry and price negotiation. After the business conditions are agreed, the purchase contract stage will be entered. Once the contract is signed, the wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers will be urged to fully perform the contract and do the filing work.
The contracted suppliers of wood-based panels, plywood and MDF shall also be subject to regular assessment to prevent the occurrence of some conditions affecting the supply quality. After the assessment, dynamic classification is also required. Because an assessment is only a static result at a certain point in time. With the progress of time, the situation of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers will also change, so the assessment will not be interrupted. There are two results of dynamic classification: continuous cooperation or interruption of cooperation.
The selection and evaluation of the entire wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers are generally carried out according to the above process. With such a process system, personnel changes will not affect the normal management of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers.
2) Main reference indicators for selecting wood-based panel, plywood and MDF suppliers
There are many factors involved in the selection of reference indicators for wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers. According to the characteristics of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers and the characteristics of materials, the focus of reference indicators is different. In the selection process of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers, the factors that the purchaser should focus on include the price, quality, after-sales service, geographical location, financial status, technical ability, etc. of the supplied materials.
3) Purpose and principle of performance evaluation for wood-based panel, plywood and MDF suppliers
In order to ensure that wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers can supply materials in a timely manner on the basis of reasonable prices and ensure the quality of the materials supplied, the purchaser should assess the supply performance of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers during a certain period. Through the assessment, all wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers were evaluated, and excellent wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers and wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers in urgent need of improvement were selected.
Principles: ① the principles of objectivity, fairness and impartiality. ② Follow the procedure. ③ The principle of continuous assessment.
The performance evaluation of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers must be conducted in a fair and uninterrupted manner according to the actual situation of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers’ supply.
1.2 Significance of evaluation and selection of wood-based panel, plywood and MDF suppliers
From the perspective of the purchaser, scientific management of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers can not only enable the purchaser to obtain high-quality and stable raw materials, auxiliary materials, production equipment and other production materials, but also the performance of wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers in product quality, delivery, price and other aspects directly affect the quality and price of the products produced by the purchaser from the perspective of the entire supply chain, Whether the raw materials provided by wood-based panel plywood and MDF suppliers can meet the needs of end users for price, quality and technology determines the market competitiveness of the purchaser’s products. Therefore, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to select the company’s wood-based panel plywood and MDF supplier management as the research topic.
